Palisády

Palisády Street is an important thoroughfare in Bratislava's Old Town, linking Hodžovo námestie with the castle. Together with the adjoining Mudroňova Street, it forms the main route through the western part of the historic center. The street is well connected to public transportation and is served by several trolleybus lines as well as a night bus, which makes it easy for visitors to get there.

One notable natural monument on this street is the old linden tree at numbers 12 to 14. The tree, which dates back to a Renaissance garden, survived several centuries and served the Slovak national revival movement as a symbol of Slavic identity. Historical documents show that it is at least 236 years old, although in the 19th century experts even estimated that it had stood for a thousand years. In the 20th century, the tree was declared a protected natural monument to save it from the building boom, although today only a remnant of it survives and its protected status was lifted again in the 1990s.
